Jigar Sagar is a UAE-based serial entrepreneur, strategic investor, and government advisor whose story began long before boardrooms and ventures. At 10, he started helping in his father’s gold retail shop in Sharjah’s Gold Souk, learning the value of money, customer service, discipline, and hard work from the ground up. He later earned his bachelor’s degree from the American University in Dubai and his master’s degree from the University of Melbourne, choosing to build his own path beyond the family business.

Today, Jigar is known for empowering over 250,000 entrepreneurs, mentoring startups, and contributing to the UAE’s innovation ecosystem. He is also an investor judge on The Final Pitch Dubai, supporting ambitious founders across the region.

Beyond business, Jigar values personal growth, family, travel, strength training, horse riding, scuba diving, and Formula 1, reflecting a life shaped by curiosity, resilience, and purposeful ambition with deep respect for culture and connection.
